Here is a link to find ATM's in Barcelona and the other ports. In case anyone is going to use the ATM to get currency.

It has been a fun week - We had to rebook our flights as Air Plus Comet no longer flys to N.America - got everything rebooked now we will be in Barcelona on Friday Morning and our group has grown to 10 over the last 24 hours - this is fun Can't wait for the trip to start

Cdn group of 10

Sounds great -- a group of 10 from Canada!! We don't come in from Paris until about 1 PM on August 18 but we will have already been in Barcelona before the July 28 sailing.

Do we have a Dis meet scheduled?

Hello - Hello!!!

I just booked the cruise yesterday - the Cat 12 price was irresistable!! None of my family is able to join me - but DH said Go, you deserve it!! What a guy.
So far all I've got is L.A. to Paris air arriving 8/15. I've yet to get confirmation on the train from Paris to Barcelona - overnight 8/17 - 1/18.

I am so excited!!!!! Imagine 6 sea days!!!!

I need to read back to see what's going on.

Hi Julie,
This will be some fun!!! I too am looking forward to meeting you & your girls! Are you "Captain's" dining or? What do you think about having a Palo brunch together?
Have to run - it's Open House at DGS's school.

Hey - how great we're on both this cruise & the Panama Canal next Aug. together! Gee, no - it will just be me! No one could go - its solo me. I hoped my DH could get away but no go - but he insisted - said I deserved it. What a guy!

Well, I just finished reading this entire post. It took a few days and my family must think I am nuts. I just realized that while I posted some responses, I never actually said we were coming. Well, we are Bringing the Magic Home,Again. We were on the awesome Panama Canal Crossing. (I did not know about the Disboards at that time.)

We love Disney cruising so much that we are taking the final 10 day Mediterranean, too. So we will enjoy 24 days of Magic. We are leaving Pittsburgh, July 13th for Paris (and DLP), then rail to Madrid where we will do a Globus Tour of Spain, Portugal and Morocco, a couple days in Madrid, then a few days in Barcelona, all before the Magic.

We are myself, DH, DD9, DD10 and DD11 (turning 12 on the 18th). We were originally booked in a cat 4 but luckily were upgraded to cat 3 95 days before the cruise starts! My in-laws are also traveling with us, they are in a Cat 4. We have early seating.

I have seen the shirts and love them. I will be ordering shortly and hopefully talk DH into wanting one as well.

DisTag sounds fun, Please add us to the list if it is still a go.

Have any definite plans been made for a Dis Meet at the beginning of the cruise. Are there many others doing these two back to back? Is there a website?

47 days until our vacation begins, 75 days until my Magic begins.

I look forward to seeing everyone in Barcelona,
Linda

Hi Dee,

thanks for the link...will come in handy.

did alexis get melanie's email? she hasn't heard back and is wondering if the email went through.

I do not beleive anyone has gotten "docs" Some have gotten the "info" docs and magnets and even new cc cards.


As for distag...I think it was lost when we lost some of the other folks. We seem to be vanishing here.

No DIS meet has been planned, unfortunately. Again because we seem to have lost a bunch of the original planners. We can revisit it thought if anyone is interested. It looks like there are several groups here, maybe we can combine them.

We have been discussing arranging a meet for the girls 10-12 year olds. In fact I would really like to get that going. I was thinking maybe a virgin cocktail hour for them in the promenade on Sunday or Monday. With us boarding on Saturday and doing shore excursions on Sunday and then setting sail. It maybe too much. I would be happy to help plann or organize this. Just let me know what you would like me to do, if anything.

I'm on "Captain's" dining, indeed! Yes, let's try to have Palo brunch together on one of those sea days . . . I don't see availability online, but if we go to Palo's when we get on the ship, I'll bet we can reserve something. Let's talk about how to coordinate this.

Perhaps we should try to organize a "Ladies Brunch" - & maybe an Afternoon Tea??? Andrew (UK) (from the 8/08 Panama Canal dis board) - organized a meal (can't remember if dinner, brunch or?) I think for 14 at Palo's.

Hi Everybody!

This is my first time on the Disboards and I found this thread. I recently switched our Dec 2007 Western Carib to 'Bringing Home the Magic'. We are so excited! I couldn't get over the price. It was about the same as what I was paying for the week in Dec!

Joining me is my husband and DS - age 13. Any more teens out there going on this chance in a life time cruise?

Hi, and welcome to the cruise!

We're bringing our DS - also 13 at time of cruise -with us. He's really looking forward to finally being old enough to go in the Stack.

WOW!!

Just looking at the list of cruisers from page 1. There sure are many people who either cancelled or no longer post.
It sure is hard to try and see who is actually going on the cruise now.

Welcome to all the neew cruisers who signed up!
